Hey Product Hunters and Makers! 👋
I’m excited to share Reddit Answers, Reddit’s new AI-powered tool!
Reddit has always been a goldmine of community-driven insights, but navigating through threads can sometimes be overwhelming.
Reddit Answers simplifies this with an AI-powered conversational interface that provides curated summaries, relevant snippets, and direct links to posts and communities—all in one place.
Currently in early access for U.S. users (English only for now), Reddit Answers bridges the gap between search engines and real human perspectives. Whether you’re looking for niche advice, real-world tips, or unique community-driven ideas, it delivers the best of Reddit in a streamlined format.
Reddit’s mission is to make search more meaningful by focusing on genuine, human experiences rather than generic responses.
What do you think about this direction? How would you use Reddit Answers? Let’s discuss! 😊
@rohanrecommends oh that's cool! But it says "Your account is not eligible for the Contributors Program".
Why??

@chrismessina yes, that is not expected. Here's what they say on their landing page which you may have noticed as well —
Not just anyone can be a contributor—to join, and stay, in the program contributors need to meet the requirements in the Earn Terms and Earn Policy.
— Earn 1,000 gold and 100 new karma after earning your first gold
— Live in a supported country and be 18+ years old (or the minimum age in your country)
— Successfully complete the verification process
— Only Safe for Work contributions qualify for payout
— Account age must be 30+ days old
Maybe you do not have 1000 gold, that must be preventing the qualification.
This is insane! It was long due. Reddit has killed it with Reddit answers! Thanks for hunting this @rohanrecommends!!

@zerotox Absolutely. I saw third-party apps building this and always thought Reddit may build it as a native feature attached to the platform. :)

@rohanrecommends maybe they read your mind. You have always been a wholehearted promoter of Reddit and Producthunt. Great to see Reddit Answers being hunted on PH by you!

@zerotox haha, thank you! Reddit innovates slowly, but meaningfully. :)
@alexanderisora Hi Alexander, that tells me you're a Reddit power user like me. xD I used to search Google using advanced searches like you shared and the reddit keyword just to see more results from Reddit. Glad this app is launching. :)

@german_merlo1 Indeed, very helpful. Thanks German. BTW, not my product, I hunted Reddit Answers. :)
I was reading Reddit s announcement about their new verified profiles with grey checkmarks for public figures and businesses. It s opt-in, mainly for AMAs or official updates and Reddit says it s about clarity, not status.
Some people see it as a helpful trust signal, while others worry it could quietly become a status symbol.
Reviews say Reddit excels at niche communities, lively discussions, and discovery, though content quality varies and onboarding can be confusing. Many praise its utility for learning, feedback, and daily news; others report opaque moderation, bans without recourse, karma gates, and inconsistent support. Makers of
I am writing to express concerns about Reddit's biased moderation, lack of transparency, and overall failure to maintain fair, consistent policies.
As a long-time Reddit user since 2017, I have witnessed a significant decline in the platform’s commitment to open discussion and free speech.
Key Issues:
Biased Moderation:
Reddit’s moderation practices are increasingly selective. Subreddits like r/MJInnocent were removed without explanation, while others like r/LeavingNeverlandHBO, which promotes anti-MJ narratives, remain active. This suggests a clear bias in how certain communities are treated, undermining Reddit’s core principle of balanced discussion.
Unexplained Bans:
I personally experienced a temporary and then permanent ban due to alleged misuse of Reddit’s reporting tool, despite following all guidelines. These actions were taken without notice or explanation, and multiple appeals went unanswered. This lack of accountability from Reddit admins is a significant concern.
Shadow Banning & Suppression of New Users:
Many new users face shadow bans with no explanation, often triggered by automated systems. There is no clear process for appealing these actions, and Reddit’s reliance on bots and AI makes it difficult for users to communicate directly with support. The absence of ticketing numbers and email communication further exacerbates the problem.
Lack of Communication & Transparency:
Reddit has become increasingly difficult to contact. Despite numerous attempts to resolve issues via Reddit’s support channels, I received no response. Additionally, r/MichaelJackson was left inactive after moderators were removed, and new moderators have struggled to manage the space effectively. Meanwhile, trolls have been allowed to disrupt the community.
What We Demand:
Reinstate r/MJInnocent and Other Unfairly Removed Subreddits:
Reddit should explain and reverse unjust subreddit removals, ensuring equal treatment for all communities.
Fair and Transparent Moderation:
Moderation should be impartial, with human oversight to avoid mistakes from automated systems. All users should be treated fairly, regardless of the subreddit or subject matter.
Clear Communication Channels:
Reddit must create a transparent support system with ticketing numbers and direct ways for users to contact a human representative regarding bans or restrictions.
End Shadow Banning:
Reddit should stop shadow banning users and provide clear explanations for any restrictions, along with an accessible appeal process.
Conclusion:
These issues reflect a systemic failure on Reddit’s part to ensure unbiased, fair, and transparent moderation. The current practices undermine trust in the platform, and if left unaddressed, will only harm Reddit’s reputation as a space for free speech. We urge Reddit to take immediate steps to rectify these issues and treat all communities equally.

I'm using reddit for years and it’s still my go to place to find real discussions and niche communities. whether it’s tech, memes, or random advice, there’s always something new to read. it’s not perfect, but the mix of humor, honesty, and chaos keeps it interesting every time i scroll.
What needs improvement
strict posting requirements (5)shadow banning (5)
The mobile app could be smoother, especially with loading comments and switching between threads. also, fewer ads and better moderation tools for smaller communities would make the experience a lot better.
Reddit is so big, it's difficult to make a general comment about it. There are so many strong communities on Reddit, and because it's a bit difficult to find your way at first, you definitely get a sense of belonging once you "get it".
When you're not searching for something, it's always a good place to stumble upon interesting content.
It's a great resource if you're looking for something specific, although the internal search isn't as good as using google and appending "reddit" to your query.
